[U-Boot-Users] serial download of uImage

[himbA]

Hi
I'm a newbie to u-boot and pretty much to embedded systems.
I have a pxa255 board running 2.4.19 kernel with appropriate patches for 
ARM and xscale and u-boot 1.0.1 as bootloader already installed by 
somebody else (I just got the stuff).
Now, ethernet link is not working yet, due to some issues with SMSC 
LAN91c111 driver for linux, so I would like to use serial link to 
download new kernel image. I've built the kernel and I have uImage ready 
to go. I also have kermit setup according to DULG wiki. I can connect to 
serial port of my board just fine, issue 'loadb offset' and then hit 
ctrl-\c, issue 'send uImage'. this the  response i get:
*************************
SEND-class command failed.
 Packets sent: 2
 Retransmissions: 11
 Timeouts: 7
 Damaged packets: 5
 Fatal Kermit Protocol Error: Too many retries

Is there a cure for this?

Let me also mention thet I'm using USB-rs232 adapter on /dev/ttyUSB0
#l /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw----    1 root     uucp     188,   0 2004-02-09 00:14 /dev/ttyUSB0

I'm member of uucp.

Also is it possible to use SMSC LAN91c111 from u-boot to get 
dhcp+tftp+nfs boot working?
